Verstappen lurks
Landon Norris in Holland at Zandvoort at the start he lost the first position despite starting from pole position in favor of Max Verstappen, but then he managed to overtake his rival on the track erasing the curse of zero victories obtained starting from pole. However, another statistic remains open that the Englishman has not erased even in Monza, namely the one relating to the first position maintained on the first lap when starting from pole position. In Italy, in fact, Piastri overtook Norris at the Variante della Roggia.
Today the start will be crucial and Norris will have Max Verstappen at his side. Usually in Singapore it is very difficult to exploit the dirty side of the starting grid, but Helmut Marko obviously he immediately played the psychological games card against Lando Norris: “He never led after the first lap when he started from pole position and Max Verstappen will certainly try to exploit this statistic”Marko told the microphones of Sky Sports Germany.
The Austrian manager even raised the stakes at the end of the Qualifying, regretting the Max Verstappen’s lap cancelled (an automatic cancellation resulting from the display of the double yellow flag). “A shame, because if he could have counted on that time he could have taken even more risks on the next lap. – added Marko – in any case after Friday we would never have imagined we would find ourselves in the front row, so the result is already extremely positive”.
